[shatters]

I am trying to either make or purchase a stencil for the diamond tactical marking on my Lightweight door-

 

 

Does anyone from REME workshop background know if they were a standard size or vehicle specific ?

 

Does anyone Know the sizes of these or where to find this info ?

 

Many thanks

I agree with Clive but with the following caveat.

 

If you can find pictures ie documentary evidence to the contrary then do it as you please.

 

You should be able to scale that door marking from the picture and known items in it.

Hi Phil, I stenciled my airportable doors similar. Found it very easy using LOW tack masking tape. Try and add the book to your collection, 'The Half-Ton Military Land Rover'

Worth hunting down, I think going through another reprint at mo.

I can confirm that the book is being re printed as my mate is the author and has told me to mention it.
